After the Cowboys lost their fourth consecutive game on Sunday to the Eagles, Parsons noted he wanted to win for Martin and other veterans. Parsons was talking about Martin and also mentioned coach Mike McCarthy’s own job status, which set off a firestorm of criticism toward the linebacker.

Despite swirling discussions about his future and linebacker Micah Parsons' heartfelt comments following last Sunday's loss, Dallas Cowboys right guard Zack Martin remains steadfast in his commitment to the team and the pursuit of victory.

It was Parsons’ words, not his play, that stole the spotlight. Parsons was asked after the game about the job status of head coach Mike McCarthy, which is understandably a topic of interest as the Cowboys fell to 3-6 in McCarthy’s final year of his contract.
